I have installed the app from flatpak in Fedora 34, title bar is coming up without text.

Let me know if you need me to do some sort of debugging.

This is upstream problem. All issues reported past month are related to this.

Why the Snap version has title and the Flatpak don't? They're in the same version: 1.1.68.632.g2b11de83

These are screenshots of the Snap version:

These are screenshots of the Flatpak version:

The xprop output tells it all. I don't know what snap does differently but the problem was confirmed outside flatpak.

Note that the nixpkg of Spotify, which is also made from the snap, works correctly and is using version 1.1.68.632.g2b11de83

Not sure if their definition gives any clues what could be different or what they changed in the history of the file to fix it https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/audio/spotify/default.nix

Some distros decided to make spotify-specific patches for their DE.

@Erick555 even with these patches, it's still broken. See https://github.com/pop-os/shell/issues/740#issuecomment-961957384

It works with the standard deb install and the snap install. There is something in the flatpak install that breaks it

Are other packages also using spotifywm?

The Nix package doesn't seem to have it as a dependency so maybe spotifywm could be the culprit since it does try to set the class name?

[Erick555]

removing reference to spotifywfm didn't help for me. You may try yourself by editing launcher in your installation.

Via trial and error, I have found that the flatpak removes the icons folder from the spotify deb. If the icons folder is restored to the files/extra/share/spotify directory, then it works again. I'll figure out a pr in a sec
